    Westinghouse canister rebuild

    P. S. (For reference) Just noticed that the 1968 ad is "VS-25", which appears to be an error as it was run only one day in that one newspaper. I did, though, find several others with "VC-25".

    Westinghouse canister rebuild

    Jimmy is in the process of closing his Elizabethton, TN store and has a large inventory of cleaners and parts. Reach out to him at 423-268-4841. I wonder if your Westy was rebuilt at some point as the ads withI located in a digital newspaper database for Westinghouse canisters began with the...

    Volta U157A 1976

    Thanks—hadn't considered the pn outlet. That's why I often make tables and lists; it reminds me to look for features that I might overlook like this time. Another item that often gets overlooked by many is the lengths of the hoses and power cords. I would imagine that they varied among trim...

    AB Electrolux, Lux & Related Company D/AP/S Series Info. 1978-2025

    Ask him sometime what those model IDs were. Btw, someone on an archived thread had posted a link to the German models list, but it's dead. If your friend has it, it would be a nice addition to our other data.

    AB Electrolux, Lux & Related Company D/AP/S Series Info. 1978-2025

    Yes, must be. Glad you mentioned that, because I had thought (as my table shows) that the D920 & D950 preceded the AP & AC models.

    AB Electrolux, Lux & Related Company D/AP/S Series Info. 1978-2025

    Never knew that. Just took for granted that the blue skins were a European feature prior to the LGP.

    AB Electrolux, Lux & Related Company D/AP/S Series Info. 1978-2025

    I took for granted that the D920 is the straight suction version of the D950. I believe the photo is from a Hungarian website (.hu); although it may have been marketed in other countries. Limited info. The only photo available was for parts listing the D920/D950 together.

    Volta U157A 1976

    Came across a YT video featuring the "Electrolux Volta" Z306, with the U157A appearing on the feed. Subsequent clicks led me to discover some others in the same design: Volta U157, Electrolux Z310, and Electrolux Z311. There was also a Volta model U156 I saw in a parts list that may have...

    Eureka Princess Canister TV Commercial

    The 1230 Series is powerheads. You're probably thinking of the 1253 Power Team, which may have also been orange. Thanks. :)

    Yeah

    AB Electrolux, Lux & Related Company D/AP/S Series Info. 1978-2025

    Thank you for your feedback. That may be an error on my part, or I possibly saw one from another country that was slightly different. The table, with the exception of the Lux France information and NZ information posted by Elliott, is based on my observations and comments I read online at this...
